Vegan in Mechelen - Edit
Way to go being 1 of 3 fully vegan restaurants in Mechelen! Great menu with lots of variety. We enjoyed the Také satay bowl which had delicious peanut sauce. The Khao Soi was nice and crunchy, but a bit too salty to my taste.

Thai & Japanese fusion cuisine - Edit
I went to this restaurant with my sister, upon suggestion.
Read moreThe restaurant is quite small and quite noisy.
The staff were very friendly and made sure our dine-in experience would be as perfect as possible.
In order to get the best food experience we took a Japanese starter and then both a Thai and Japanese main dish.
The Takoyaki was really flavorful, the teriyaki sauce paired well with it. However, we are less fond of the mayo. For us it could be completely skipped. It makes it too rich especially on the stomach.
The “chicken” pad Thai was creamy, but not too much. The sweet chili sauce was also nice to give it a kick and to avoid flavor fatigue.
And last, the Okonomiyaki was unfortunately, quite disappointing. It was from my POV the same as our starter, which I was not expecting.
There was way too much mayo on it too, too rich for me and started to get a flavor fatigue.
However, the taste of the dish itself remains good.
I would definitely like to come back to try out other items from their menu.

Lekker, klein gezellig restaurant - Edit
Kaart met Japanse en Thaise gerechten, allemaal vegan met duidelijke info rond allergenen. Dit is een klein restaurant, dat maakt het zo gezellig, maar reserveren is dus aangeraden.

Very delicious and authentic Asian dishes - Edit
Také is a rather new restorant in Mechelen but we already went two times because the food is really good! They serve authentic vegan Japanese and Thai dishes.
Read moreGood price - quality also!
Fist time we took the okonomiyaki wich is a Japanese hearty pancake and the pad-Thai with vegan chicken. We loved both dishes very much! We also tried their mochi; one with strawberry and chocolate and one with matcha. They wore both very nice.
The second time we went, I took the sate bowl with peanut sauce and my bf the tempura bowl. Again; very good!
The owners are really friendly by the way!
I think this is one of my new favorite vegan restorants :)
Pros: Authentic thai and Japanse dishes , Very tasty , Very friendly staff

Okonomiyaki 💚 - Edit
I was already a fan of Také when they were still a take-away hotspot in Ghent, but now that they have a full restaurant in Mechelen, I'm even more of a fan. I think the interior is really cosy with some cool prints for decoration, and the food is still on point. You just have to try the okonomiyaki, which is definitely a favourite of mine. The owners are really friendly as well and everything is affordable, so make sure to try out this spot if you're around. Book a table beforehand though, because apparently it can get busy in the evenings.

I had the Japonese pancake and I could not wait to write the review. I have just finished it. Every bite is an explosion of taste. The matcha latte as well was nice. My husband had the red Thai curry and he was also saying how nice it was. We are already talking about coming back!
